“So, Mr. Giertych, if these tapes are genuine, and if you did in fact deliver those signatures, then a meeting with the prosecutor seems necessary,” wrote MP Bartosz Kownacki of the Law and Justice party on X, commenting on the so-called “Tusk tapes.” How are others reacting?
Today, TV Republika released recordings that could send shockwaves through the political scene. The published segment, featuring a conversation between Roman Giertych and Donald Tusk, dates back to 2019. Topics discussed during the conversation included Giertych’s conflict with Grzegorz Schetyna, then-leader of the Civic Platform, the handover of signatures in support of Stanisław Gawłowski, and a strategic plan to put forward Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska as a presidential candidate.

“So then, Mr. Giertych, if these tapes are real, and if you indeed handed over those signatures, then surely a meeting with the prosecutor is in order. #TuskTapes”

“According to Tusk and Giertych, nominating Kidawa for Prime Minister was a great idea – yet both were secretly hoping for Schetyna to fail. No surprise – they were likely behind the whole plan to replace Schetyna with Budka.” 😎 #TuskTapes

“Most will get excited about Tusk and Giertych joking about German ancestry and insulting voters. But the key issue is the alleged handover of support lists from Giertych to Gawłowski. Yes, the same Giertych who now shouts the loudest about ‘catching the fraudsters’.”
Dawid Wildstein (@DawidWildstein)
“I listened to the recordings. You know what struck me most? How much they reveal about Tusk – his lack of substance, both intellectually and morally. This is a staggering embarrassment. Is this the man some call a great ‘statesman’? He comes off as clueless, falling for the most blatant flattery.”
Kamila Borszkowska-Moszowska (@KamilaBormosz)
“Ladies and Gentlemen, it must be said clearly: Mr. Roman Giertych has once again admitted that the Extraordinary Chamber of the Supreme Court is indeed a lawful court, and that its judges were appointed properly. Meanwhile, Mr. Bodnar continues to claim the opposite – that the rulings are ‘illegal’.”
Stanisław Janecki (@St_Janecki)
“Amid all of this, Grzegorz Schetyna comes across as a relatively decent person.”
